The general public may not be unfamiliar with the name depression, thanks in large part to media campaigns and, of course, the efforts of psychiatrists. But I haven’t seen any survey done on how much the public is properly aware of depression. But two years ago, Beijing did a survey of doctors (non-psychiatrists) in various disciplines, and the result was that the rate of correct recognition of depression among doctors in various disciplines was very low. The correct recognition rate of depression is about 38%. So I was watching the news online two days ago, and a reporter asked a famous female presenter, and she replied, “I don’t get depression.” I actually tell my depressed patients all the time, I can’t say as a psychiatrist that I don’t get depressed, and indeed some of my colleagues do get depressed. But when a psychiatrist gets depressed, he knows that he should take medication and make psychological adjustments. Some people may not understand, or even laugh, and may say: “Gee, even psychiatrists get depressed! Yes, psychiatrists get depressed too. Can you control the brain’s secretion of chemicals at your own will? Depression is a decline in our brain’s secretion of monoamines (including pentothal), and this is the biological basis for depression. This is the biological basis of depression. Therefore, depression requires medication to balance the monoamines so that the depressed person can be cured. Depression is not a problem of the mind, it is a disease. It is undeniable that depression may be preceded by psychosocial factors, such as certain life events, mental shock, stress, etc. Some people may misunderstand that he is depressed because he can’t think straight and is narrow-minded. So some depressed patients have a sense of shame, thinking that they are too weak, too much to be despised. I often tell him: you are strong, you are great! You are fighting the disease while still studying! You put in more effort than other students. Isn’t that worthy of respect? Some people may think that people who suffer from depression are introverted people. Wrong, we often see extroverts suffering from depression in clinical practice. Some patients say, “I am an extrovert, how can I be depressed? There is a biological basis for depression, there are psychosocial factors, there is nothing to do with introversion and extroversion.
